INDIANS ARE AROUSED.
Fatal Encounter BeUveen Indians
and Americans Out West.
Los Angeles,'Dec. 27.-Reports from
Mexico say that a terrible Indian up?
rising has occurred. A band of Ya?
quis, one of the most ferocious tribes,
attacked a number of Mexicans and
Americans, resulting in a fierce en?
counter. Four Americans were kill?
ed. Several outbreaks are reported
but details are lacking as to number
of dead.
(Later)-Col. H. E. Maxson, vice
president National Immigration Con?
gress and Secretary Board of Educa?
tion at Reno, Nev., brings a graphic
story from Senora, Mexico, of Indian
trouble. Eight Mexicans and whites
were massacred in the little town of
Lancho on Saturday night. The sta?
tion agent and his wife escaped from
Lancho by boarding a work
train. Maxson and his par?
ty had not been gone from town
one hour, when the band of Yaquis
swooped down on the little party of
Mexicans and butchered four. The
station house was burned not many
miles from Lancho. Four more men
were massacred by wari!ka Indians.
The remaining members of the com?
pany refused to leave, saying they
could stand off the Indians until the
next day, when the R?ales would ar?
rive to deal summarily with the
guilty if captured.
EARTHQUAKE VISITS CHLLE.
Santiago, Chile, Dec. 26.-Half the
town of Arica, in the province of
Tacna,^has been destroyed by an
earthquake, and other towns in the
neighborhood have suffered more or
less severely. The seaport cf Iquique,
120 miles south of Arica, was not
damaged. With the recollection of
the August disturbances, fresh in the
minds of the people, those- in the
earthquake zone are greatly alarmed.
A BLACKMAILING SCHEME.
Helena Mont., Dec. 26.-Unknown
persons have attempted to blackmail
the Northern Pacific railroad for
$25,000, after the method employed
by Isaac Gravelle, who, after a dra?
matic escape from the court house,
where h 3 was on trial for the dyna?
miting of trains, was finally killed in
{ Gov. Toolers door yard. The present
j b!aek..iai!t*rs wrote the railroad that
unless $25.000 was forthcoming the
St. Louis-Burlington express would
bo dynamite*! today. bct'V'jen. living?
ston and Billings. Instead of giving
up the money six detectives were
placed on the train. A supposed ac?
complice was found in the baggage,
but as he made no move, either from
fear or failure to communicate with
his assistants, he was not molested.
The train met with no unusual ex?
perience'. Little plunder could have
been procured had the train been
dynamited.

Reports From Scooba and Wahalak
Much Exaggerated. .
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 26.-Advices
from Scooba and Wahalak, ?Miss., to?
night state that quiet prevails at both
of these towns, as well as throughout
the surrounding territory and that the
troops and civil authorities are in
complete control of the situation. Ac?
cording to the most reliable reports
the disturbance of the last few days
in Kemper county were not as seri?
ous as at first reported. The trouble
is attributed to the actions of a reek
less mob, which, in searching for the
negro who attacked Conductor Coop?
er, aboard a Mobile and Ohio train
last Sunday, and shot and killed Con?
stable O'Brien of Wahalak, killed
three negroes and wounded several
others.
Feeling against the negroes was in?
tensified by the killing by negroes of
Conductor R. N. Harrison of the Mo?
bile and Ohio railroad at Crawford
Station Monday night and in the be?
lief that the mob was beyond control,
Deputy Sheriff Alexander, at Scooba,
asked that troops be sent there at
once, so that . the innocent negroes
might be protected.
Two companies of State troops are
now encamped at Scooba.
Late this evening Gov. Var daman,
accompanied by 25 members of the
company of State militia stationed at
Jackson, Miss., left for Scooba. Gov.
Vardaman stated that there has been
no fresh outbreak, but he is going to
the spene in order that he may make
a personal investigation. .The troops
are to relive those who have been on
duty for the past several days.
Gov. Vardaman Goes to Scene.
Jackson, Miss., Dec. 26.-Gov. Var?
daman and several members of his
staff left for Scooba this evening at 6
o'clock on a special train. He carried
with him about 25 members of the
Capital Dight Guards, under com?
mand of Capt. Albert Fairley. Adju?
tant General Fridge preceded him
about 3 hours, going on the regular
train to Meridian, where he will have
a special train waiting to carry the
governor and militia direct to Scoo?
ba. The governor says there has been
no fresh outbreaks at Scooba, but
that it has been impossible for him
to get any definite, news from there
and he has gone over to make a per?
sonal infestation, and relieve the j
strain on Coi. McCar.ts' soldiers! with j
fresh troops.
Reports Exaggerated.
Scooba, Miss., Dec. 26.-Late yes?
terday indefinite reports reached this
town that four negroes had been pur?
sued by a posse and killed five miles
east of here. It was also reported
that the negroes in and around the
town were in a state of unrest and
trouble was feared. A telegram was
sent to Gov. Vardaman at Jackson
asking that troops be forwarded here
from .Meridian. The governor order?
ed out a company of militia and the
soldiers arrived here early today.
They found, however, that no trouble
existed in Scooba and they are now
walking about the town chatting
with the citizens.
The reported killing of four ne?
groes yesterday, which cannot be veri?
fied, was a direct outgrowth of the re?
cent . trouble at Wahalak. Advices
from Wahalak state that the excite?
ment there has subsided and business
is being carried on as usual/
William Jennings Bryan has never
been a book agen, as so many other
American statesmen have peen, no?
tably Senator Beveridge; but he has
come perilously near it, and as this
incident illustrates, says the Washing?
ton Herald, he would have made a
good one. In a conversation in Lon?
don recently with the representative
of the publishing house that is bring?
ing out his new book, "The World's
Famous Orations," Mr. Bryan said:
"My brother in Illinois once took thc
agency for selling county maps down
at Salem, but he could not make a go
of it. He had the maps left on his
hands. I took them out and sold them
all in one day. Of course, when I
couldn't get cash for them I took it
out in groceries and other forms of
legal tender peculiar to that section
but I got rid of the maps at a profit."

DR. PIERCE'S
GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
There are no secrets about its com?
position - all its ingredients being
printed on the bottle-wrappers.
The "Golden Medical Discovery"
not only builds up the strength of
the feeble, debilitated, languid,
nervous and easily fatigued, wheth?
er young or aged, but it enriches
and purifies the blood, thus making
the improvement lasting.
It corrects and overcomes indi?
gestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, tor?
pid liver, chronic diarrhea and
kindred derangements of the stom?
ach, liver and bowels.
Bronchial, throat and laryngeal
affections, attended with hoarseness,
persistent cough, and all manner of j
catarrhal affections are cured by the
"Golden Medical Discovery."
In Chronic Nasal Catarrh, it is
well to cleanse the nasal passages
out freely with Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy fluid while taking the
"Golden Medical Discovery" as a
constitutional treatment.' Old ob?
stinate cases of catarrh yield to this
thorough course of treatment.
Through enriching and purifying
the blood, the "Discovery" cures

affections of the .skin. Old. open. I

In short "Golden Medical Dis?
covery " regulates, purifies and in?
vigorates the whole system and thus
cures a very large range of diseases.
The reason Why it cures such a
varied list of diseases is made clear
in a little booklet of extracts from
the leading medical authorities,
compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y., and which he will
be pleased to send post-paid and
entirely free to any who send him
their names and addresses.
